He doesn't reflect on FMP 1939 Census nor does his wife Eileen.
In WWII he reportedly served as an Aircraft Mechanic in the RAF, with possible posting in Carribbean (?). Can't find him on FMP Military.
Would like to add more details to his life story on my Family history narrative. if anyone can help.]]>6Photograph of St John's Limehouse?Tue, 06 Aug 2019 15:41:00 +0000https://www.genealogy-specialists.com/threads/photograph-of-st-johns-limehouse.4028/

Anyone can explore our map layers that have been stretched and manipulated to fit over the contemporary map of London; meaning you can focus on a street, building or area and see how it has changed over time!

One of the interesting layers that I was looking at was of the streets that were bombed in the Blitz. Interesting stuff.
